We performed a comparison between IBM Integration Bus and Red Hat Fuse based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Seamlessly integrates your different applications."
"The solution's features are all quite useful. We use all of them."
"IBM Integration Bus is flexible, easy to use, and easy to configure."
"The product is usually very easy to deploy."
"IBM Integration Bus' most valuable features are its performance, fast and easy development, and easy support."
"The integration with other tools is excellent. It integrates well with batch issues."
"What I like best are the monitoring features."
"We can have multiple endpoints, and we can integrate different applications from different platforms. In a large-scale enterprise setup, it becomes so easy to establish communication between applications. You can connect an application to other applications, other legacy applications, and databases. You can also connect with those applications that are in the cloud. You can connect with other well-known applications, such as Salesforce, SAP, and Workday, by using IBM Integration Bus."
"What I like about Red Hat Fuse is that it's a well-established integration software. I find all aspects of the tool positive."
"The installation is quite okay. We don't really change much in the configuration. Most of the time, most of the settings remain with the default and we are able to handle our needs using the default setting."
"One of the features I found most valuable in Red Hat Fuse is that it has a lot of containers so you won't have to worry about load balancing. In the past, there was a cut-off, but nowadays, Red Hat Fuse is moving off of that, so my team is utilizing it the most for load balancing, particularly running goal applications and three to five containers. There's automatic load balancing so you won't have to worry too much. I also found that component-wise, you don't have to do much coding in Red Hat Fuse because everything is configurable, for example, XML-based coding. Coding isn't that difficult. Performance-wise, I also found the solution to be quite good and its processing is quite fast. My team is processing a huge amount of data with the help of Red Hat Fuse."
"We usually had used PowerCenter for master data integration (by replication). But in some cases, it was better to use Fuse for providing the master data online. It doesn't make it necessary to replicate data."
"The support training that comes with the product is amazing."
"More than a feature, I would say that the reliability of the platform is the most valuable aspect."
"It's very lightweight. There's no need for any specialized tools in order to deploy any service for Red Hat Fuse."
"We use it because it is easy to integrate with any other application...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution nine out of ten."
"The next versions are moving toward container use. It would be a shame to make the product highly complex just to support one pattern of deployment. It is my hope that IBM continues to focus on practical functionality that is simple and cost-effective."
"Its integration with Cloud Pak components could be better."
"The memory footprint should be minimized."
"The product lacks an integrated testing module."
"The solution is too expensive for smaller companies."
"IBM Integration Bus isn't particularly user-friendly and has a big learning curve."
"I think security should be more simplified."
"Its licensing or subscription model should be improved for more flexible adoption. There should also be more ease of use."
"The main issue with Red Hat Fuse is the outdated and scattered documentation."
"While it's a good platform, the pricing is a bit high."
"For improvement, they can consider the way we collaborate with other applications...Right now, in Red Hat Fuse, everything is not available under one umbrella."
"Our clients would like to see the user interface improved so that it is more user-friendly."
"The solution will be discontinued in 2024."
"There is definitely a bit of a learning curve."
"The monitoring experience should be better."
"Currently, the main point of concern for us is how flexible it is to cater to different requirements. It should be more flexible."
